from the year-of-linux-down-by-the-docks dept.

Samsung has announced a new app called Linux on Galaxy that works with its DeX docking station to bring a full Linux desktop experience to Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphone users.

Comments from IDC sounded skeptical saying the concept is "interesting at best", but "the No. 1 challenge is that there is no public infrastructure for where you can dock your phone, other than in your home or office... Where you really would like to have that is at a hotel, at an airport, etc."

Samsung is touting their DeX environment as "supremely better than all the earlier attempts to have a smartphone docking into a big screen".

    You know, that's a staple of every Hollywood movie that mentions pizza, but like most things that come out of Hollywood it's nonsense. Anchovies blend into the pizza flavor and make it so much more savory. If you go to a good Italian restaurant and you wonder why it's so much better than what you can do at home, it's because they put anchovie paste in the sauce. If you are really digging the rich, creamy dressing on your Cesar salad, it's because it has anchovy paste in it.

    Every cuisine has a secret ingredient that puts it head and shoulders above the rest. For Mexican it's cilantro. For Chinese it's sesame oil. For Italian it's anchovies.

    Actually, I find anchovies too salty. I prefer sardines on pizza. Unfortunately, the only pizza joint I knew of that ever did that didn't make good pizza, and folded decades ago.

    If there's nothing else salty on the pizza, than anchovies are ok. Otherwise I'd give them a pass.
